I genuinely think Jones has a yet to be defined metal disorder.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (3 children)

He makes his money this way. Sometimes things don't have to be complicated.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. It doesn't make sense because it's a grift. These "pundits" are getting rich by scaring ignorant people.

I'm of the opinion that the car-based society in the States throughout the 50s to the 90s is the reason they're all fucked in the head due to lead poisoning from gas fumes

So yes, heavy metal poisoning

That might explain some of the boomer problems. Jones is a gen-xer though, we had phased lead based fuel out of almost everything by the time he was growing up.

He very well could have eaten lead paint chips as a kid though. His supplements have also been tested and shown to contain unhealthy amounts of lead.

Possibly. I think he really lacks an ability to see how his attention seeking habits negatively affect others, and I don't think he's quite capable of having it explained to him.

I feel like something broke in his brain when he got fuck you money for doing good investigative journalism in the early 90s.

Like his brain went "oh okay. Just tell people how they're being manipulated and you get a free ride." and he's been stuck there ever since. And his tales of how we're being manipulated grew taller and taller.

It's like some attention seeking shit mixed with a super low IQ. Idk.

His inability to stop speaks to me of self-destructive desires.

I guess Biden should just have him assassinated since he is clearly a threat to his ability to perform his presidential duties. Surely this is what the SCOTUS was referring to when they made that ruling.

Not only is that illegal, the dumbfuck doesn't even realize that there couldn't possibly be a better way for Democrats to sweep the election than on a wave of sympathy if Biden were assassinated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That and most likely running a candidate that isn't geriatric.

A Biden donor event, where Biden and Alex Jones fight to the death. All on a livestream and tv. It being offical presidental business it would be legal according to SCOTUS for Biden to kill Jones. Whatever the outcome the Democrats presidential candiate will be seen as fit as well. If Biden looses, Jones is being thrown into prison.

And people say Trump is a showman....

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Jones has been saying for 30 years the government wants to stop him for speaking the truth. While I think the dupes that believe him will see him as a martyr, making an example of a couple media dorks like jones who are engaging in rhetorical escalation for clicks would be an improvement, probably

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

Biden needs to…. Presidential Immunity that clown as soon as possible.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

This guy really likes to dig himself into the stupid hole any chance he gets, huh?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Awwww he wants to give Biden another ass.

[–] [email protected] 133 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Ironically, Biden assassinating him would be cool and legal according to SCOTUS.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

🤓umm, excuse me, the SCOTUS rule doesn't make things legal; they stay illegal, but the POTUS will not be held accountable for them.

isn't that SO MUCH better‽

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Only if the SCOTUS decides it's official presidential business tho

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

That can be easily solved by first assassinating any members of SCOTUS who would rule the assassinations to not be official business

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, it just has to be within the duties of the president -- official business -- How could POTUS doing a military order not be official business ? Whose business would that be other than the leader of the military?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but if he does it and gets charged for this abuse of power, it will probably be tried before the Supreme Court, meaning they'll get to ratify whether it actually was official business.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Except no it wouldn’t because he wielded power exclusive to the office of president therefore it is considered an official act and his motives cannot even be investigated to find out if it was an abuse of power.

The degree to which the Supreme Court has fucked the US with this ruling is hard to understate.

Yeah, and the current traitor majority would make up whatever bullshit to not do that, regardless of how tight a corner they've tried to paint themselves into with the decision.

But Biden could just assassinate them, too. And then there'd be nobody left to object.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not really, controlling the military is very explicitly an "official act" as stated in the verdict. Biden could literally seal team 6 him with no legal consequences

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The other recent catastrophic decision, the one overturning Chevron deference, flushed stare decisis right down the shitter.

When I say they "make up whatever bullshit," I mean they really make up whatever bullshit!
